N4 Draft

This place has exploded the last few weeks, and I cannot keep up with all the posts, sorry. Maybe this has been asked already... I was exiting the pits at Indy, went around 1st and 2nd corners, was ready to merge but saw an AI car coming, so stayed down. I was accelerating hard-ish and wooosh, the AI blew past me and I spun out. Watching the replay, the AI was about 2-3 virtual feet from my 'passenger' side; it did not hit me. I know I was not mashing the gas so much as to be spinning my tyres (ha, tyres) to cause myself to spin unaided. Does N4 model the aero so faithfully that a car passing me at a substantial speed difference would cause me to spin? MRSisson -- LOAD "GPL",8,1 RUN

Dunno about the AI stirring up the air (3500lb car, 150mph wind, I doubt it) but it doesn't take much gas pedal to spin you out in N4, much because of the "realistic" HP and torque supposedly built into this release. I have had to learn great restraint, especially when "shifting", in getting on the gas. If I stab it too much after lifting to shift, around she goes! I assume you are lifting to shift, else you're over revving the motor...or have a controller with a clutch, which I do not have. Anyway, welcome to N4, best of luck, edb Michael R Sisson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MPG.15075df4212ccc729896b5@news...

Kind of like racing on ice isn't it? "Michael R Sisson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MPG.15075df4212ccc729896b5@news...
